Food Interaction

[Moderate] ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: The gastrointestinal absorption of trientine may be decreased in the presence of food, resulting in reduced therapeutic effects.br>

Trientine multivitamins interaction

[Moderate] GENERALLY AVOID: Concurrent oral administration of mineral supplements or mineral-containing products may block the absorption of trientine, and vice versa.

The mechanism is trientine chelation of polyvalent metal ions resulting in a nonabsorbable complex.

In general, mineral supplements or mineral-containing products (e.g., antacids) should not be used in patients treated with trientine.

If concomitant use is unavoidable, separation of administration times by at least two hours is advisable.
